Originally allotted to the tribe of Judah (<a href="/joshua/15-31.htm">Joshua 15:31</a>) and later to Simeon (<a href="/joshua/19-5.htm">Joshua 19:5</a>), it became a Philistine city during the time of King Saul. David was given Ziklag by Achish, the Philistine king of Gath, and it served as his base while he was fleeing from Saul (<a href="/1_samuel/27-6.htm">1 Samuel 27:6</a>). This location is associated with David's leadership and his eventual rise to kingship, as it was here that he received news of Saul's death (<a href="/2_samuel/1.htm">2 Samuel 1:1</a>). Archaeologically, Ziklag's exact location is debated, but it is generally believed to be in the Negev region. The mention of Ziklag in <a href="/nehemiah/11-28.htm">Nehemiah 11:28</a> indicates its continued significance and repopulation during the post-exilic period, reflecting the restoration efforts of the Jewish community.<p><b>in Meconah and its villages;</b><br>Meconah is less well-known than Ziklag, with limited biblical references. It is mentioned here as part of the repopulation efforts during Nehemiah's time. The inclusion of Meconah and its villages highlights the broader restoration and resettlement of the land by the returning exiles. This reflects the fulfillment of God's promises to restore Israel after the Babylonian exile (<a href="/jeremiah/29-10.htm">Jeremiah 29:10-14</a>). The mention of "its villages" suggests a network of smaller settlements surrounding Meconah, indicating a focus on rebuilding community life and agricultural productivity. This effort is part of the larger narrative of Nehemiah, which emphasizes the physical and spiritual rebuilding of Jerusalem and its surrounding areas.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/z/ziklag.htm">Ziklag</a></b><br>A town in the Negev region of Judah, historically significant as a place given to David by the Philistine king Achish.
